TaxDetailsType

Type used by the TaxDetails container, which consists of detailed tax information for an order line item, including the tax type and description, tax on the item cost, and tax related to shipping and handling. The information in this container supercedes/overrides the sales tax information in the ShippingDetails.SalesTax container (if returned).

A separate TaxDetails container will be returned for each type of tax that applied to an order line item. For tax that is subject to 'eBay collect and remit', such as US sales tax or 'Goods and Services tax' for Australia or New Zealand, the TaxDetails container will be returned under the eBayCollectAndRemitTaxes container. For all other tax, the tax details will be returned under the Taxes container.
